still, exploiters of the Microsoft flaw made a mistake themselves. the worm instructed computers to call up http://windowsupdate.com -- which is an incorrect address for reaching the actual Microsoft Web site that houses the software patch. although Microsoft has long redirected those who visited that incorrect address to the real site _ http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com -- the company disabled the automatic redirection Thursday in preparation for the onslaught of infected computers.
